As verified through many of the Steelers’ fourth quarter highlight reels, that connection between Aaron Rodgers and Calvin Austin just seemed to always be at its apex in critical, must-score situations. Long before the two linked up on a game-winning, postseason-clinching play in January, Rodgers was introducing his new franchise to his nearly-unrivaled clutch gene, dropping a perfectly-thrown back-shoulder dime to the endzone’s left corner for a 17-yard touchdown. The play helped Pittsburgh secure a 21-14 win over the New England Patriots, a team that soon became one of the AFC’s absolute elites. Rodgers guided Sept. 21, 2025’s charge through a 134-yard, two-touchdown finish, with Austin tying for a team-best in receiving yards (34) on three snags and a score.
